Testimony from a student Saturday!

Hi Scott,
Thank you again for such a great class yesterday. I think that it was perfectly taught and full of information. I am already planning to do some winching practice with my jeep and winch. Unfortunately, my new jeep already has a warn winch on it, or I would be purchasing a Superwinch. I really appreciate all of the information and will be equipping my recover bag accordingly. I look forward to the upcoming 4WD 101 class on Dec 3 and will get signed up for it sometime this week.
Respectfully,
Rob
